It's a Happy Book Birthday celebration for WOVEN by Michael Jensen and David Powers King, published by Scholastic

About WOVEN:

Two unlikely allies must journey across a kingdom in the
hopes of thwarting death itself.

All his life, Nels has wanted to be a knight of the kingdom of Avërand.
Tall and strong, and with a knack for helping those in need, the people of his
sleepy little village have even taken to calling him the Knight of Cobblestown.

But that was before Nels died, murdered outside his home by a mysterious
figure.

Now the young hero has awoken as a ghost, invisible to all around him save one
person—his only hope for understanding what happened to him—the kingdom’s heir,
Princess Tyra. At first the spoiled royal wants nothing to do with Nels, but as
the mystery of his death unravels, the two find themselves linked by a secret,
and an enemy who could be hiding behind any face.

Nels and Tyra have no choice but to abscond from the castle, charting a hidden
world of tangled magic and forlorn phantoms. They must seek out an ancient
needle with the power to mend what has been torn, and they have to move fast.
Because soon Nels will disappear forever.

"It’s
not often that you read a fantasy that feels as epic and original as Woven
by King and Jensen. Clever, well-paced, and full of intrigue, it’s a superb
read. Highly recommended."

"WOVEN
reads like a lost classic that was somehow just rediscovered. It has the feel
of a comfortable, familiar blanket that's somehow been newly-made of the
brightest, most original material possible, and it is pure pleasure to
read."

of Here, There Be Dragons

"The
worldbuilding is dynamic, original and intriguing … and the characters,
appealing. A sure bet for high-fantasy fans." — Kirkus
